There seems to be a litttle bit of an overlap between the work CACI is doing with WAWF (https://wawf.eb.mil/) and what DAASC (https://www.daas.dla.mil/daashome/daasc_home.asp) does. As many of you may know Webmethods was purchased by Software AG in 2007. Both CACI and Webmethods are headquartered in Northern VA for more fun facts to know and tell. David Frenkel

Defense Automatic Addressing Systems Center (DAASC) at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH is seeking sources to provide: Support in the continuing process to expand services for our customers, DAASC is operating a full-service EDI Telecommunications Hub and is maintaining and refining a Translation Engine for the any-to-any conversion of ANSI X12, MILS, and User-Defined Format (UDF) documents in any combination/ direction. With this capability, DAASC acts as an Electronic Business (EB) Gateway for the DoD and other Federal Civil Agencies, performing translation to/from formats specified by each of these customers. Essentially, the DAASC is the facilitator that enables disparate systems to function homogenously. This project focuses on the eventual replacement of the Global Exchange (GEX) GOTS software with the webMethods, highly available, secure hardware solution. This will provide greater support to the warfighter by ensuring that critical applications are kept current with technology, available 24x7, 365 days per year and provides the best value to the government through transaction monitoring/processi ng technologies Due to the essential mission that DAASC provides, the Department of Defense has defined the operation as Mission Assurance Category (MAC) I which identifies the DAASC processing as vital to the operational readiness or mission effectiveness of deployed and contingency forces in terms of both content and timeliness.
